I get sleeved 11/2. I'm looking to buy a blender that's easy to use and maintain. Any help appreciated.

I use an immersion (stick) blender. I have one from Cuisinart that I got from Amazon. It comes with a beaker to use for mixing. It is super easy to use and maintain -- you snap the blade half of the stick on and off. When you are done using the blender, you snap the blade portion off, rinse it off, and toss it in the dishwasher. The handle portion of the stick does not need any maintenance. It has one button with two settings -- high and low. That's it.

This blender doesn't add any foam to your protein shakes, which is a big bonus. Most standard type blenders add foam and that is almost impossible to deal with post-op.

However, if you are planning on adding ice cubes to your protein shake, you'll need something with more oomph to completely destroy them.

I use the Nutraninja IQ it's awesome, convenient, easy to use and clean.

The vitamix is amazing. Its an investment but soooo worth It if doable. It really does everything, soups, ice cream, nut butters, shakes..... I also have the magic bullet which is great for shakes, and for the pureed stage.

I have a ninja that works great for shakes, pureed foods and food processing. Im still preop (for a few more days) but think it will work well post op

I have a Breville Hemisphere. I also have the same Cuisinart immersioj blender which works really well for chopping and whipping. But the Breville does it all well.

I have the ninja with single serve cups. I love it! Easy to use, fast, and purees everything like a dream! Even ice. Also, a very quick and easy cleanup.

I bought a Soup maker tonight. I am still pre-op for 1 more week. I figure that I will be using it for a while!!

I bought a Ninja last week-I'm pre op and it's worked magic with Protein shakes and ice cubes.
